Description
This book addresses the issue of the efficacy of multicultural education, taking particular account of recent critiques from radical theorists. The author advocates the need for a more critically conceived approach to multicultural education. Richmond Road School in Auckland, New Zealand - a school with a growing international reputation - is examined, via critical ethnography, as an example of what can be acheived when a critically conceived multiculturalism is effectively implemented at school-level.
